Lester and Commissioner M. H. McArdle, of Norfolk, Va. After ex plaining thoroughly the advantages and requirements to complete the or ganization by Mr. Lester, it was de cided to call a meeting next Tuesday night at the Scout cabin, when all boys eligible and interested in joining the Edenton troop are asked to be present. At that time the troop will be officially reorganized and the scout program put into effect. Fees for joining with the Tide water Council are S2OO, which amount has been assured equally among the Lions Club, the Rotary Club and Ed Bond Post of the American Legion. A charter will be issued immediately af ter reorganization. Members of the Troop Committee, who were present Tuesday night, were: William Privott, chairman, W. D. Holmes, Hector Lupton, 0. H. Brown, Geddes Potter, T. C. Byrum and W. W. Byrum. In order to create interest and! get the boys off to a good start,! Geddes Potter was *■ delegated to in- j struct the Scouts in tieing knots, Cy* ' E. Kramer, oaths and laws, and O. | H. Brown, flags and badges. George Capehart, scoutmaster, ap | pears very optimistic over the Boy j i Scout prospect and feels sure a full] troop will be enrolled next Tuesday i night. Four Cases Tried By [ Recorder On Tuesday Four small cause criminal cases, occupied the attention of the Record er’s Court on Tuesday and brought minor penalizations. The defendants were all Negroes.

Jim Dillard, of the Evans Church section, up for shot gun assault on Shellep Burk, was held for Superior Court. Burk lost the end of an index finger, provoking some facetious criti-, cism as to Dillard’s markmanship. Collin Bellamy, charged with pos-1 session of bootleg liquor, was sen-1 tenced to the roads for 6 months, i Carroll Edney, accused of having purchased 5 gallons of gasoline from M. S. Boyce, under false pretenses, was released on the charge. Baptist Choir Gives Excellent Program A full house was present at the Baptist Church Sunday night when a musical program was rendered by the choir under the direction of Mrs. Gus Hughes. Christmas music was fea tured by the singers, which occasion ed considerable favorable comment by- those who were present. Prac tically the entire service was given ; over to the choir, Rev. E. L.

Attention has been called to the four organizations sponsoring the erection of flood lights on the fair grounds the past summer in order to play soft ball at night, that damage has been done to the lights.

Reynolds Gift WiK Help Local Fight To Curtal Syphilis Dr. Gatiiss Says He&lflt Law Will Be Rigidly Enforced COMPULSORY Program Arranged In Cooperation With Doc tors and State Board Dr. F. H. Garriss, county health officer, is quite pleased at news of the $1,000,000 gift from tile Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Inc., for the war on syphilis in North Carolina which will be administered through the North Carolina State Board of Health. Though Dr. Garriss had no way of knowing definitely the amount, he is happy to know that Chowan will benefit to some extent by the gift. The health officer said Monday that the county health department, in co operation with local doctors and the State programs, will formulate a pro gram to increase the local fight on syphilis and feels sure that more concrete results will accrue. Dr. Garriss commented on the law aimed at eradication of syphilis, which was made in 1919, but due to lack of sufficient funds little progress had been noted. Now, however, with enough money assured the purpose of the law can and will be carried out. In Chowan County Dr. Garriss es i timated that about 10 per cent of the I colored population were afflicted with | jo mg form of syplylia, while less than [ % per cent of the white pe«sle wwee * I affected. Though this is a large aad dangerous number of people to be as ! fected with the dread disease, it is | somewhat comforting to know that |in some of the larger cities of the State affection runs as high as 25 per cent of the colored population. Though it may not be generally known, the local health department has already begun the fight on sy philis in Chowan County. Aside from the regular health program, about $lO per month has been spent for treatment of syphilitic victims. In Chowan County the health law as regards syphilis will be enforced, says Dr. Garriss. It is not a volun tary affair, for doctors must report cases coming under their observation, druggists are prohibited to sell any medicine for the relief of the disease without making a report and the health officer has the authority to ex amine any suspects. For failure to submit to an examination and taking treatments, victims are subject to im prisonment. Lions Club Honored At District Meeting Local Organization One Year Old on Fr&fay, January 21 Local Lions are proud, of the fact that they received special recognition at tiie district meeting recently held in Raleigh, when the Edenton Club was cited for having representatives present traveling, the: fartherest dis tance. Attending tibia meeting were William Privott. Cam Byrons, Clar ence Leary and Wallace Griffin, daeh of whom were called upon for a re port at Monday night’s meeting. Another interesting item of busi ness to be discussed was the first anniversary celebration of the Eden ton club. The local club was organi zed on January 21, 1936, and the oc casion will he appropriately celebrat ed on Monday, January 24. While it is too early to announce the program, West Byrom, program chairman, Will., very shortly appoint committees to arrange a program for the affair. Due to the holiday’s, the Lions have called off their meeting next Monday night. . v* Midnight Service At ~ St Anne’s On Friday Beginning at 12 o’clock Christmas Eve a midnight Christmas service will be held in St. Anne’s Catholic Church.
